The chip maker has since released a series of updates but it would seem the issue still persists and affected users are losing their patience waiting for a fix.<br \/>\nNeowin was the first to break the story back in April and since then, a number of users have contacted the publication noting their accounts on Intel\u2019s forum have been deleted. Interestingly enough, even the original author\u2019s messages and account have since been removed.<br \/>\nMost users experiencing the issue say their new laptop connects to their wireless network without issue for a few hours. After that, the connection will drop and trying to reconnect will often result in a message saying the wireless network doesn\u2019t exist. Disabling then turning the Wi-Fi back on will usually reconnect a user but the same thing will happen again a couple of hours later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/53956-intel-centrino-wi-fi-users-still-experiencing-connectivity-issues.html\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nccomputertech.com\/techtalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2013-09-10-image-15.jpg\" alt='' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Users say the issue is most apparent when download large files at high speeds or when playing multiplayer games.<br \/>\nOne reader contacted the publication to offer up a response received from Intel. In it, the user was told Intel engineers are acutely aware of the problem and there are two upcoming software releases in the pipeline that should help alleviate the issues. The first is expected within the next couple of weeks with a follow-up scheduled for around six weeks from now.<br \/>\nUntil then, the only fix appears to be to disable 802.11n mode which of course will have an impact on connection speeds.<br \/>\nvia <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/53956-intel-centrino-wi-fi-users-still-experiencing-connectivity-issues.html\" target=\"_blank\">Intel Centrino Wi-Fi users still experiencing connectivity issues &#8211; TechSpot<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year a number of users reported disconnection errors with Intel\u2019s Centrino 6230 \/ 6235 Wi-Fi adapters.
